Ordinary eggs are good

Eggs are a powerhouse food – a concentrated package of high quality natural proteins, vitamins, minerals and some essential elements you require in a balanced diet. Eggs are one of the few foods that contain vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin. In fact two eggs, 100g serve, will provide about 50% of your daily requirements (RDI). And eggs contain the highest quality complete food protein available. 

But our egg is incredible

We have researched a special patented diet for our hens, a balanced diet boosted with natural supplements rich in good Omega fats and certain essential vitamins. ecoeggs are an ideal food for sportspeople, pregnant women and people who generally care about their health.

So it’s really no surprise that a healthy, happy hen lays a healthier egg. And we think ecoeggs taste better too.

DHA, the Smart Omega-3

DHA is the key essential Omega-3 fat. DHA is particularly important for pregnant and nursing mothers, infants, and the elderly. Fish is probably your main source of DHA, but it's expensive we often don't eat enough of it.

Our ecoegg offers you a natural and inexpensive alternative.

We source our DHA from Nu-Mega, an Australian company who specialise in the production of high grade tuna oil. A number of highly regarded Australian food companies source special oils from Nu-Mega. The patented process applicable to ecoeggs, developed by Dr. David Farrell, uses tuna oil in combination with flaxseed oil. This concentrated natural supplement, free of animal proteins, is added at very low levels into our hens’ diet.

Two ecoeggs provide 100% RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) of Omega-3.

Nutrient	ecoeggs are a nutrient powerhouse	And this is how may normal eggs you would need to eat to equal one ecoegg
Omega 3 ecoeggs contain an excellent balance of the two good Omega 3/6 fats with a 259% increase in Omega 3 over ordinary eggs.
EPA, DPA, DHA ecoeggs contain a 127% increase in EPA, DPA and DHA over ordinary eggs.
Vitamin E ecoeggs contain a 400% increase in Vitamin E over ordinary eggs.
B12 Ecoeggs contain a 150% increase in Vitamin B12 over ordinary eggs.

Nutritional values in this table for a standard egg are based information published by AECL in 2008. In our comparison the figures stated above left are the ADDITIONAL nutritional content an ecoegg has ie. 150% increase is actually 1 + 1.5 = 2.5 times total. This calculated amount is then shown in the number of eggs you would need to eat to equal an ecoegg.
